MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS
ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER CARTRIDGE
Check engine oil level before each operation. In addition, change the oil and the oil filter
cartridge at the intervals specified in the periodic maintenance and lubrication chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Remove the console. (See page 109) for console removal and installation procedures.)
3. Check the engine oil level on a cold engine.
4. If the engine was started before checking the oil level, be sure to warm up the engine sufficiently,
and then wait at least ten minutes until the oil settles for an accurate reading.
5. Remove the engine oil filler, cap and
wipe the dipstick off with a clean rag.
6. Insert the dipstick in the oil filler hole
(without screwing it in), and then
remove it again to check the oil level. The
engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
7. If the engine oil is at or below the
minimum level mark, add sufficient oil of
the recommended type to raise it to the
correct level.
